# photolib
[](https://travis-ci.org/arnehilmann/photolib)
[](https://coveralls.io/r/arnehilmann/photolib)
prepare for huge photo mosaics, searchable photo archive, and offline face-recognition
- import new photos, generate date-based hierarchy

```
- analyze photos and metainformation (faces detected by [picasa](http://picasa.google.com/))
- generate smaller photos (aka tiles, 240x240px) for mosaic rendering
- generate closeup of detected faces
- render mosaics using [metapixel](http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/schani/metapixel/)

## tl;dr
### install
download project, install prerequisites (ubuntu-specific)

cd photolib
bootstrap/ubuntu
```
### usage
```bash
source ve/bin/activate # activate photolib
transfer-photos --source-dir --photos-dir
# picasa face detection in MY_PHOTO_LIBRARY happens here
generate-exifdata --photos-dir

## How to run picasa and its face recognition
- [virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) with official [windows os](http://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/)
- mount your photos dir as additional drive in your vm
- install both [picasa](http://picasa.google.com/) and [picasastarter](https://sites.google.com/site/picasastartersite/)
- use picasastarter to configure/start picasa
- backup your Google-Folder often
- ~~not recommended any longer: [picasa3.9 on ubuntu using wine](picasa_on_ubuntu.md)~~
## How to use metapixel on MacOS
see the separate [HowTo](metapixel-on-macos.md)
## TODO
- ~~make analyze-photos idempotent~~ done
- ~~let analyze-photos remove photos when face information changed~~
- add minimal exif data for photos without exif
- set mtime of photos to its exif timestamp
